Top Homeowner Questions About Selling in 2025
How long does it take to sell a house in Spokane right now?
In August 2025, the average was 32 days on market, up from 27 days the year before. Homes that are priced competitively and prepped well still move quickly.
Do I need to renovate or stage my house first?
Absolutely. Even in a neutral market, buyers are picky. I recommend focusing on curb appeal, fresh paint, and clean/staged interiors. Avoid major remodels unless they have high ROI.

Is it worth waiting for interest rates to drop before listing?
Not necessarily. Higher mortgage rates can reduce buyer competition, but listing during Spokane’s peak months (April–July) usually outweighs timing rate changes.

FAQ: Selling Your Spokane Home in 2025
What’s the best time to sell a house Spokane if I’m not ready until summer 2025? June and July still show strong closings historically. If May is too soon, aim for early summer and prep your listing in advance.
How do I know if the Spokane market favors sellers or buyers in 2025? With 3.4 months of inventory, the market is currently neutral, but well-priced homes still get strong activity. As your Realtor, I can help interpret hyper-local data.
Is it harder to sell in fall or winter in Spokane? Sales drop after October. Serious buyers remain, but homes sit longer and often sell for less. If you list then, ensure top-notch prep and pricing.
Can I still sell fast in Spokane even if rates stay high? Yes. Buyers are still active — they’re just more selective. Listing during high-activity months can override rate hesitation.
